The cheapest gadget – and you don’t even have to spend a dime – is chopsticks from a Chinese restaurant.

Bill Gates

As a writer, that moment every few years when I buy a new laptop and find out that all the word processing stuff has slightly changed again (stuff I spend every working day using) is like getting into bed at night and finding some mad robot where you expected your wife to be.

John Niven

It is really rare to find someone you really, really love and that you want to spend your life with and all that stuff that goes along with being married. I am one of those lucky people. And I think she feels that way too. So the romantic stuff is easy because you want them to be happy.

Howard Gardner

Your problem is how you are going to spend this one odd and precious life you have been issued.

Mario Batali

Sometimes I live in Paris for a couple of months, then I have a job some place, and then I come back to New York. I guess my base is New York-ish, ’cause my family is here. But my husband’s family is all in Paris, so we try to spend a lot of time there, also. Especially now that we have Rose.

You can’t be too careful what you tell a child because you never know what he’ll take hold of and spend the rest of his life remembering you by.

Frederick Buechner

I think daycare is great for people who have to work two jobs. My problem is with people who are dropping kids off at daycare because they want to go out and spend the day golfing or getting their nails done. You know what I mean? That’s not why they invented daycare.

Denis Leary

When you spend a lot of time, like I do, just standing around and waiting, or being moved from place to place, every minute gets consumed by something someone else has set up for you. And it’s not like I’m always in a beautiful place wearing something gorgeous.

Scarlett Johansson

Abraham Lincoln

If you live in London, where politicians and media commentators spend most of their time, you are spoilt for transport choices – trains, an extensive underground network and a regular bus service.

Owen Jones

You can have anything you want, but not everything. If it was really important to spend an afternoon at my daughter’s school, I had to think, how was I going to organize my life to do that? How could I become more efficient? I always tried to put my priorities on the table, personal and professional, and work around them.

Laura Lang

I used to spend summers with my Granma in Louisiana; Crowley, LA.

Pimp C

Inevitably, the world of ‘communications’ / PR / advertising / marketing is full of charlatans flogging snake oil. It is therefore very easy to do things and spend money just because it’s conventional.

You spend so much time in your head in life. And what yoga does is, it asks you to allow your head to be quiet, to allow it to be still, just for an hour and a half. Just deal with your body and your breath. And it’s a great workout. I love it.

Colin Farrell

Never underestimate how profoundly marked biceps and defined traps can improve your personal style, particularly if you spend as much time in a sleeveless shirt as Nate Thurmond.

Sean Evans

I could come home, and I would spend the rest of the night just lying on the floor or the sofa listening to albums. It was like a movie to me. I still do, really, and doing the radio show ensures that I’ll be sitting there listening.

Tom Petty

I don’t go out at all. I have my three restaurants that I go to, and that’s it. I spend the least possibly time here on-site because that takes energy away as well. There is a lot of people, you know. It’s massive kind of stadium, a lot of players.

Alexander Zverev

We’re all products of what we want to project to the world. Even people who don’t spend any time, or think they don’t, on preparing themselves for the world out there – I think that ultimately they have for their whole lives groomed themselves to be a certain way, to present a face to the world.

Cindy Sherman

We’re obviously going to spend a lot in marketing because we think the product sells itself.

Jim Allchin

Making food is a wonderful way to spend a Friday night.

Being in love was like China: you knew it was there, and no doubt it was very interesting, and some people went there, but I never would. I’d spend all my life without ever going to China, but it wouldn’t matter, because there was all the rest of the world to visit.

Philip Pullman

If you want to train for big mountain endeavors, spend time in big mountains.

Jimmy Chin

I accomplished what I set out to do. I wanted the whole cookie, and I got it. Now I want to spend more time with my children – make sure they don’t go through what I did.

Flip Wilson

I spend most of my time at concerts hoping for that one second that the artist looks at me, I look at the artist, and that’s when I get to say, ‘Thank you.’

Garth Brooks

I would like to say every moment counts for you, so make the time that you spend for your dreams a very special moment, make sure that you do something that you’ll be happy with when you go back and look at yourself.

Jennie

One thing I’m not going to do is chase staying alive. You spend so much time chasing staying alive, you won’t live.

Patrick Swayze

I live in Atlanta, Georgia, and none of the other Backstreet Boys live in Georgia. So a lot of times, when people come to my house they’re like, ‘Hey, is A.J. here?’ Or, ‘Is Kevin here?’ Or, ‘Is Nick in the bathroom?’ People think we live together and we spend all the time in the world together, but we really don’t.

Brian Littrell

Sometimes I had to spend a whole day mixing a boiling mass with a heavy iron rod nearly as large as myself. I would be broken with fatigue at the day’s end. Other days, on the contrary, the work would be a most minute and delicate fractional crystallization, in the effort to concentrate the radium.

Marie Curie

I feel like if I can help somebody look at money differently or manage their finances differently or spend a little differently, then I feel like I’m doing my job. So I’ll try to help them see the bigger picture and think longevity versus the temporary spending that we’re kind of accustomed to.

Bobby Wagner

Work takes different forms. I can spend two or three days without completing anything, and it’s choppy: it’s filled with all kinds of irrationalities and stupid actions. I have some notion, and then I drop it because something else comes along. I’m forever darting from one side of the room to the other.

Edward Ruscha

For me, the Parc des Princes is special, somewhere I’d go to spend my pocket money.

Kylian Mbappe

I don’t take for granted all the blessings that I have, and as soon as I heard about Computers for Youth, I really wanted to be involved. Anyone who knows me knows how much time I spend on computers. I’m a computer addict. Every young person deserves to have a computer in his or her home.

Bow Wow

Cadila, India’s sixth-largest drugmaker by sales, spent $250 million developing Lipaglyn, a new chemical entity or new discovery, and aims to spend another $150 million to $200 million to launch the drug outside India.

Pankaj Patel

The most impactful dollars that Australia can spend are actually what goes to help the poorest.

Bill Gates

Your natural tendency, human nature, is to always look and see if there’s an opportunity. But that’s something that I don’t spend a ton of time doing because I’m pretty meat and potatoes when it comes to approaching the day.

Monty Williams

Having to think so much about fictitious relationships that work or don’t work, and with each relationship between characters managing to do one or other of those in its own peculiar way, I spend a lot of time thinking about relationships, real and imagined.

Nick Earls

It’s possible to spend every waking hour here on the ninth floor and not get out of the office. And this isn’t the real world in here. And contrary to public opinion, I’m not incredibly poll-driven. They are an ongoing indicator of how we are going, but I take the feedback I get on the street as being the most important.

John Key

I don’t want to spend my energy on people who don’t like me.

Sarah Cooper

I’d love to do something on Broadway. I’d love to spend some time in New York.

Richard Madden

I guess I’ve always lived the glamorous life of a star. It ‘s nothing new – I used to spend down to the last dime.

Freddie Mercury

Once elected, the Pope is by virtue of the promise of Jesus to Peter, the Pope is preserved from the possibility of error. God would change any spend thrift politician into a responsible Pope.

Pope Francis

It’s my job, too, to keep up with pop culture and what the kids are into ’cause you don’t want to sound like an old man trying to write for kids. I spend a lot of my time spying on them.

R. L. Stine

Having worked on ‘The Hour,’ I now feel like I spend my whole time interrogating history.

Abi Morgan

Every year, I have to spend another hour working out. Pretty soon I’ll be spending eight hours working out just to fit in the costume. I have the feeling that the minute I stop doing the character, boom, Roseanne Barr.

Cassandra Peterson

I still want Oprah to play my best friend. I want to spend time with Oprah.

Tina Fey

Lose an hour in the morning, and you will spend all day looking for it.

Richard Whately

North Korea spends billions of dollars to make this nuke test system. If they would spend just 20 percent of what they spent on making nuclear weapons, nobody would have to die in North Korea from hunger but the regime chose to make us hungry.

Park Yeon-mi

When working with an orchestra, you never spend more than 20 minutes per recording session.

Placido Domingo

Whenever I go to a new team the jabs about being a Harvard guy are always more prevalent. This is mainly because people don’t know much about me other than being the Harvard guy that did well on his Wonderlic test. The more time I spend with people, the less the Harvard stuff comes up.

Ryan Fitzpatrick

Every coach has his own style of play, but when you spend your whole life as a Cowboy, you have to be influenced by what we did.

Tom Landry

If you spend your whole life being depressed about life, you’re wasting it.

C. K. Williams

Human relationships can get awfully demanding and unpredictable. One day you feel one way, the next day you feel something else. That affects relationships. It’s better to spend time with yourself doing the things that you enjoy.

Sharmila Tagore

I used to spend my holidays there in my grandparents’ large family house, with my numerous cousins. When I die, I am going to be buried in the village cemetery.

Yves Chauvin

I don’t spend any time whatsoever thinking about what might have been.

Alex Trebek

We spend most of our lives cutting down our ambitions because the world has told us to think small. Dreams express what your soul is telling you, so as crazy as your dream might seem – even to you – I don’t care: You have to let that out.

Eleni Zaude Gabre-Madhin

For a rich and reasonably successful guy, it is impossible not to enjoy your job; otherwise, why would you spend so much time and effort doing it? I am a great fan of Norilsk, and I like this kind of challenge.

Vladimir Potanin

We spend money we don’t have, on things we don’t need, to make impressions that don’t matter.

Tim Jackson

It’s not a bad idea to occasionally spend a little time thinking about things you take for granted. Plain everyday things.

Evan Davis

I’ve gotten to learn what’s important in life and what’s not important, and what to spend energy on and what not to. I don’t have a family like some of my teammates, but I have a lot of things pulling at me that I have to put my energy into.

Aaron Rodgers

I feel like the luckiest person alive. I spend my life doing the stuff I love. I’m surrounded by inventive people who are full of energy and life.

Deborah Meaden

We spend the first twelve months of our children’s lives teaching them to walk and talk and the next twelve telling them to sit down and shut up.

Phyllis Diller

If you think you know the consumer better than anyone, then you’re in real trouble. So we take a close watch. You spend time in stores.

Mickey Drexler

I don’t spend my time pontificating about high-concept things; I spend my time solving engineering and manufacturing problems.

Elon Musk

I don’t remember a drama on TV that had shown a couple could be married but still love each other very much, spend every day as if they were still on their honeymoon, be sensuous, and have fun together.

Aaron Spelling

It takes a lot of energy to be negative. You have to work at it. But smiling is painless. I’d rather spend my energy smiling.

Eric Davis

If you spend five minutes with your worst enemy – it doesn’t have to be about race, it could be about anything… you will find that you both have something in common. As you build upon those commonalities, you’re forming a relationship and as you build about that relationship, you’re forming a friendship.

Daryl Davis

As you navigate through the rest of your life, be open to collaboration. Other people and other people’s ideas are often better than your own. Find a group of people who challenge and inspire you, spend a lot of time with them, and it will change your life.

Amy Poehler

My interest is in the future because I am going to spend the rest of my life there.

Charles Kettering

It was a wonderful experience to live the life for a year; to spend all day doing Shakespeare and then do a play in the evening.

Phil Daniels

All of us who are worth anything, spend our manhood in unlearning the follies, or expiating the mistakes of our youth.

Percy Bysshe Shelley

Prisons are big businesses, which I hadn’t realized. A lot of these name brand labels that we wear – they’re using prison labor and exploiting prisoners, who live in harsh conditions. People need to know about this kind of sweatshop labor, so they can decide what to spend their money on.

Da Brat

You do live longer with bran, but you spend the last fifteen years on the toilet.

Alan King

I’m so jealous of people who have crushes on people they go to school with or work with. That’s such a blessing. You actually get to see them all the time and spend time with them.

Aziz Ansari

It is of practical value to learn to like yourself. Since you must spend so much time with yourself you might as well get some satisfaction out of the relationship.

Norman Vincent Peale

Instead of putting someone in prison for being a hooligan, give him a choice. He may have beaten someone up and he’s got eight years, but tell him you can do eight years inside or spend five years in the Army. Put him in the Parachute Regiment, they’d soon sort him out.

David Bailey

With songwriting I spend a lot of time living life, accruing all these experiences, journaling, and then by the time I get to the studio I’m teeming with the drive to write.

Alanis Morissette

We shall tax and tax, and spend and spend, and elect and elect.

Harry Hopkins

In the past, my family made a lot of sacrifices. We never got to spend much time together because I was always training. I think now I need to spend as much time as I can with them. This is the life I should have.

Lin Dan

I make sure that I spend quality time with my family.

Suniel Shetty

When we understand the connection between how we live and how long we live, it’s easier to make different choices. Instead of viewing the time we spend with friends and family as luxuries, we can see that these relationships are among the most powerful determinants of our well-being and survival.

Dean Ornish

I don’t take breaks, man. In the past, I used to spend my free time getting in trouble, and now I spend it working on my music. If I’m not playing drums with my cover band, Chevy Metal, I’m working on songs for myself.

Taylor Hawkins

Arizona is the worst place to spend the summer – it’s like 125 degrees – so my mom, my brother and I would go to the beach for two months to escape the heat.

Emma Stone

I grew up in a household with my mother, who was a Holocaust survivor. I very much understand the mentality that you cannot live in the past. You can’t spend your entire life, or even portions of it, looking back and dwelling on things that have already happened. You have to move forward.

Paul Heyman

It’s not that I lead this oblivious life where I think I’ve got such a great personality that people want to spend time with me. If someone has a poster of you or asks for your autograph, clearly you can’t take them out on a date. It’s not that interesting if someone is just interested in you.

George Clooney

Have fun in your command. Don’t always run at a breakneck pace. Take leave when you’ve earned it, spend time with your families.

Colin Powell

Paris is a danger for people like me. We spend our rent money in Paris on clothes.

Bridget Kelly

I feel an important part of beauty is not only what you do on the outside but also what you put into the inside. Good fresh food with many vegetables along with love and caring for others. I spend way more time serving others than I do on my beauty routine daily.

Kim Alexis

The amount of money currently in your bank account is a fact. The amount you spend today is a choice. And the way you reconcile both is through clarity.

Sarah Ban Breathnach

The President sends us a billion-page paper that shows how he would spend the money if he were spending the money. He doesn’t have the authority to spend the money. He doesn’t spend $1 of the money.

Michael Enzi

I want to live life, not just spend it.

Saba Qamar

Economics is all about consumption. People either spend money now or they use financial instruments – like bonds, stocks and savings accounts – so they can spend more later.

Adam Davidson

If I don’t need the money, I don’t work. I’m going to spend time with my family and friends, and I’m going to travel and read and listen to music and try to learn a little bit more about how to be a human being, as opposed to learning how to be somebody else.

James Spader

Instead of worrying about what people say of you, why not spend time trying to accomplish something they will admire.

Dale Carnegie

I try and spend a lot of time with my kids. I try and have fun with my kids. I try to put father time in there.

Flavor Flav

We don’t have the luxury of time. We spend more because of how we live, but it’s important to be with our family and friends.

Sara Blakely

I feel like I need to start wearing a T-shirt saying ‘This is not a photo opportunity’. People are so lovely but you do find that when you’re out you spend 40% of your time posing for photographs.

Chris O’Dowd

Time well spent results in more money to spend, more money to save, and more time to vacation.

Zig Ziglar

I just love to shop. If I could, I would shop every single day in every single store and spend all of my money which, you know, I do anyway.

Ariana Grande

Over the years, golf has evolved from a leisurely game of stick and ball into a competitive sport for highly skilled athletes. Players not only spend countless hours fine-tuning technique on the course, but also improving strength, stability, and endurance in the gym.

Paige Spiranac

I think people care. If not, why do so many people spend money going on vacations to see architecture? They go to the Parthenon, to Chartres, to the Sydney Opera House. They go to Bilbao… Something compels them, and yet we live surrounded by everything but great architecture.

Frank Gehry

There’s some ignorant people in the world, and if I spend time trying to convince people to think like me, I’ll be wasting valuable time I could use to be growing my business, perfecting my craft as a fighter, watching film, studying, or just enjoying time with my family. Or just sleeping.

Tyron Woodley

I can’t work on something if I don’t believe in it. I love music, and I am inspired to work harder and spend more energy. I feel lucky that I was born with this passion.

Carolina Kostner

When I’m working in the studio, I like to be on my own because I don’t know where I’m going; I want to be completely free to spend lots of time on songs.

Yann Tiersen

I spend my life essentially alone at a computer. That doesn’t change. I have the same challenges every day.

Dan Brown

I’m hanging in there, trying to spend as much quality time with my wife and kids as possible, and though it’s very frustrating to know I won’t beat the cancer, there’s a great satisfaction in knowing that I’m walking off the field with no regrets.

Randy Pausch

The mystery of that damn virus has been generated by the $2 billion a year they spend on it.

Kary Mullis

When you’re on set, you’re constantly surrounded by people – talking to people, being touched by people. So I like to just spend time with myself.

Madeline Brewer

Teachers are our greatest public servants; they spend their lives educating our young people and shaping our Nation for tomorrow.

Solomon Ortiz

Firms produce goods for households – that’s us – and provide us with incomes, and that’s even better, because we can spend those incomes on more goods and services. That’s called the circular flow of the economy.

Tim Jackson

We cannot afford to spend millions and millions over nuclear arms when there is poverty and unemployment all around us.

Lal Bahadur Shastri

I never saved my money. Whenever I worked in the past, I would spend it on my family or my husbands.

Linda Evans

People spend a lot of time talking and thinking about how members of the opposite sex look, but very little time paying attention to how they sound. To our unconscious minds, however, voice is very important.

Leonard Mlodinow

At Facebook, we try to be a strengths-based organization, which means we try to make jobs fit around people rather than make people fit around jobs. We focus on what people’s natural strengths are and spend our management time trying to find ways for them to use those strengths every day.

Sheryl Sandberg

If you have children, you cannot feed them forever with flags for breakfast and cartridges for lunch. You need something more substantial. Unless you educate your children and spend less money on conflicts, unless you develop your science, technology and industry, you don’t have a future.

Shimon Peres

I want to spend the night alone in a haunted mansion. I wouldn’t say I’m sceptical because that word implies the truth is out there when there is no truth out there.

Aidan Turner

Mostly, I spend my time being a mother to my two children, working in my organic garden, raising masses of sweet peas, being passionately involved in conservation, recycling and solar energy.

Blythe Danner

As for the like of Hillary Clinton, I – you know, I’ve covered Secretary of State Clinton before. I covered her during her campaign. And she’s a very likable and charismatic person once you get the chance to spend any time close to her.

Michael Hastings

I know I’ve got a degree. Why does that mean I have to spend my life with intellectuals? I’ve got a lifesaving certificate but I don’t spend my evenings diving for a rubber brick with my pyjamas on.

Victoria Wood

So we want to change the tax system. We want it to be fair, and we want to see some tax relief because people do three things when they get a little extra money in their pocket: They save it or they spend it or they invest it.

Todd Tiahrt

It is troubling that modern slavery is a crime that can be hidden in the supply chains of the goods and services we use every day. The uncomfortable reality is that the money we spend could be driving demand for slavery across the globe.

Amber Rudd

A lot of things you see as a child remain with you… you spend a lot of your life trying to recapture the experience.

Tim Burton

It’s possible that you have been told a time or 10 that you don’t appreciate how tough your elders had it. It’s true that, if you had been coming of age back in, say, 1960, you would probably be feeling more restricted, if only because you were doomed to spend your days in a skirt, nylon stockings and girdle.

Gail Collins

Most of the time I spend when I get up in the morning is trying to figure out what is going to happen.

Madeleine Albright

We spend our time responding rationally to a world which we understand and recognize, but which no longer exists.

Eddie Obeng

Don’t spend time beating on a wall, hoping to transform it into a door.

Coco Chanel

The Smothers Brothers have a good show, bul CBS is going to have to spend an awful lot of money to keep it going with top guest stars. A variety show is very expensive.

Lorne Greene

Between falsehood and useless truth there is little difference. As gold which he cannot spend will make no man rich, so knowledge which cannot apply will make no man wise.

Samuel Johnson

In economics, one of the most important concepts is ‘opportunity cost’ – the idea that once you spend your money on something, you can’t spend it again on something else.

Malcolm Turnbull

I fell in love with the darkroom, and that was part of being a photographer at the time. The darkroom was unbelievably sexy. I would spend all night in the darkroom.

Annie Leibovitz

A man – hairy or not – should still spend time on personal hygiene.

Gregg Wallace

Here in the big city people spend their time thinking about work and about money; they don’t give some value to friendships and it can be depressing.

Adriana Lima

The U.K. is one of the places that has always been an advocate of my music and I spend a lot of time touring here. I’ve got family and friends over here, but more than that, there’s a large Jamaican community and the Jamaican culture is very widespread in the U.K. which I love.

Damian Marley

Learn to enjoy every minute of your life. Be happy now. Don’t wait for something outside of yourself to make you happy in the future. Think how really precious is the time you have to spend, whether it’s at work or with your family. Every minute should be enjoyed and savored.

Earl Nightingale

If you spend all day on horseback, and you hop off, you walk around like you still have a horse between your legs. And it affects your shoulders. They fall.

Heath Ledger

I always try to describe making movies like summer camp, or some holiday where you spend all day, every day with a new group of people whom you kind of love and then never see again.

Eddie Redmayne

I don’t understand it. Jack will spend any amount of money to buy votes but he balks at investing a thousand dollars in a beautiful painting.

Jackie Kennedy

I think it’s very healthy to spend time alone. You need to know how to be alone and not be defined by another person.

Olivia Wilde

I know half the money I spend on advertising is wasted, but I can never find out which half.

John Wanamaker

I spend most of my time at the ranch with my family, and enjoy life – watch the sun come up, watch it go down, thank God for another day, and just be happy.

Marcus Luttrell

I made a lot of money. I earned a lot of money with CNN and satellite and cable television. And you can’t really spend large sums of money, intelligently, on buying things. So I thought the best thing I could do was put some of that money back to work – making an investment in the future of humanity.

Ted Turner

Socialism is when government’s taking care of you, you send all your money to the government, the government decides how to spend it instead of letting the people spend it and make all those decisions.

Bob Latta

My iPhone has changed my life – I spend hours taking photos of the sidewalk as I walk down the street. I like the casualness, that it’s low-resolution.

Kiki Smith

What you want in a mentor is someone who truly cares for you and who will look after your interests and not just their own. When you do come across the right person to mentor you, start by showing them that the time they spend with you is worthwhile.

Vivek Wadhwa

In prison, you have to forget about the world on the outside. You have no Internet, no communications, and you’re cut off from the whole world. Everything is given to you. You have shelter; you have food, a shower, water. You don’t need to spend a dime. You don’t have to worry about bills.

Charlie Shrem

You can’t be the accountant in your accounting firm. You can’t cut the grass in your landscaping business. You can’t work on the vehicles in your auto repair shop… And you really can’t spend all of your time managing those actions, either.

Michael Gerber

It was a favorite expression of Theophrastus that time was the most valuable thing that a man could spend.

Diogenes

North Americans as a whole need to embrace having clothes altered to their body. I hear it all the time: why do the Europeans always look so good? They have a relationship with their tailor and spend the time and money to make their clothes look their best.

Michael Kors

Bonuses balance my budget in New York City. The bigger the bonuses on Wall Street, the more money I had to spend on poor people. The New York City budget is determined greatly by the bonuses given on Wall Street.

Rudy Giuliani

I’m a great believer that scientists should spend as much time as possible explaining, and you do explain in the process of teaching.

Leonard Susskind

People spend a lifetime thinking about how they would really like to live. I asked my friends and no one seems to know very clearly. To me it’s very clear now. I wish my life could have been like the years when I was writing ‘Love in the Time of Cholera.’

Gabriel Garcia Marquez

I’ve always been kind of precocious, but my journey sort of solidified when I was in college and majored in theater. That’s how I knew I wanted to spend my life writing, telling, and performing stories.

Natasha Rothwell

I love my living room: it’s the heart of my home where I get to chill and spend time with family and friends.

Bobby Berk

I’ve met Oprah Winfrey twice, but I want to spend some quality time with her. I want to sit her down and talk at her for a minute about what she means to me and why she means that. Then I have some advice for her, too… I have an idea or two.

Ross Mathews

I always say spend more on classics, like a good pair of leather trousers, an amazing tailored jacket, or a classic handbag. Then you can just mix your everyday tops from the high street.

Abbey Clancy

If you know how to spend less than you get, you have the philosopher’s stone.

Benjamin Franklin

Sadly, piped music in so many public spaces is often just more noise. Rarely is it carefully designed to enhance our experience; much more likely it is there because retailers have subscribed to an incorrect view that music makes people spend more.

Julian Treasure

I just want to go through Central Park and watch folks passing by. Spend the whole day watching people. I miss that.

Barack Obama

Saying that you spend Christmas alone is, to most middle-class Americans, akin to confessing a terminal illness.

Michelle Dean

Great sculptors and artists spend countless hours perfecting their talents. They don’t pick up a chisel or a brush and palette, expecting immediate perfection. They understand that they will make many errors as they learn, but they start with the basics, the key fundamentals first.

Joseph B. Wirthlin

Most of our players come from the Championship; Chelsea can get more or less anyone from around the world. Some clubs in this division have owners who say it doesn’t matter what they spend. I don’t know what happened to Financial Fair Play but it didn’t exactly level the playing field.

Sean Dyche

We spend so much time sublimatin’, thinkin’ about, ‘What am I going to have for lunch, dinner?’

Matthew McConaughey

Christmas for me is all about spending time with my family. I cherish any chance we have to spend all day together making gingerbread houses, baking cookies, or sitting around and watching movies.

Blake Lively

The hours I spend with you I look upon as sort of a perfumed garden, a dim twilight, and a fountain singing to it. You and you alone make me feel that I am alive. Other men it is said have seen angels, but I have seen thee and thou art enough.

George Edward Moore

A nation that continues year after year to spend more money on military defense than on programs of social uplift is approaching spiritual doom.

Martin Luther King, Jr.

I just see too many people retire and say, ‘I’m going to take off, travel, spend time with my family’ and they are just miserable. They end up dying. People who work and stay active, and like what they are doing, live longer.

Terry Bradshaw

Almost all our suffering is the product of our thoughts. We spend nearly every moment of our lives lost in thought, and hostage to the character of those thoughts. You can break this spell, but it takes training just like it takes training to defend yourself against a physical assault.

Sam Harris

Most of us spend the first six days of each week sowing wild oats; then we go to church on Sunday and pray for a crop failure.

Fred Allen

If you spend time with your loved ones, you get the energy to do your job better.

Sushant Singh Rajput

If you have a dream, you can spend a lifetime studying, planning, and getting ready for it. What you should be doing is getting started.

Drew Houston

It’s actually a smarter crime because imagine if you rob a bank, or you’re dealing drugs. If you get caught you’re going to spend a lot of time in custody. But with hacking, it’s much easier to commit the crime and the risk of punishment is slim to none.

Kevin Mitnick

You accumulate political capital to spend it on noble causes for Canada. If you’re afraid to spend your capital, you shouldn’t be there.

Brian Mulroney

When I’m really fixated on a bit of writing, I can easily spend six days without leaving the house and barely leaving my room.

Alex Garland

I let my feet spend as little time on the ground as possible. From the air, fast down, and from the ground, fast up.

Jesse Owens

Use your health, even to the point of wearing it out. That is what it is for. Spend all you have before you die; do not outlive yourself.

George Bernard Shaw

What is important for kids to learn is that no matter how much money they have, earn, win, or inherit, they need to know how to spend it, how to save it, and how to give it to others in need. This is what handling money is about, and this is why we give kids an allowance.

Barbara Coloroso

You have to spend some energy and effort to see the beauty of math.

Maryam Mirzakhani

You want to spend more of the money you earn? You want to control your own healthcare, and you want to pick where your kid goes to school? Then, welcome to the new Republican party. That’s us.

Dan Bongino

I sometimes feel like it’s difficult for people to relate to me, until they spend, like, a day with me, and until they walk around with me in public.

Emily Watson

When you’re on tour, you really don’t get to hang out with and spend the holidays with your family and friends. And there isn’t usually much of a break in between performance dates.

Ace Young

A lot of people feel they spend enough time watching me go through the good, the bad, and the ugly, so they feel like they know me and are a part of it. I’m kind of like a part of people’s families. You can’t buy that kind of connection with people.

Dean Ambrose

I’ll tell you what makes me feel worthwhile: organizing and solving other people’s problems. It makes me feel good to go to Mexico City and figure out theories on how you can reorganize and reduce crime. To me, it’s one of the more fulfilling ways to spend a day.

Rudy Giuliani

Every family should have the right to spend their money, after tax, as they wish, and not as the government dictates. Let us extend choice, extend the will to choose and the chance to choose.

Margaret Thatcher

You cannot spend money in luxury without doing good to the poor. Nay, you do more good to them by spending it in luxury, than by giving it; for by spending it in luxury, you make them exert industry, whereas by giving it, you keep them idle.

Samuel Johnson

The more you practise happiness, the better you get at it. So if you spend lots of time practising being depressed, you’re going to get really good at being depressed. And if you spend lots of time practising being happy, you’re going to get better at being happy.

Joe Wright

Harpists spend 90 percent of their lives tuning their harps and 10 percent playing out of tune.

Igor Stravinsky

I always want to spend time around people who lift me up and make me feel like my best version of myself. So if I can spend time around people that make me laugh or something like that, that’s incredible.

Tana Mongeau

We do have pictures on the wall, in our office in Belfast where we spend half our time. All the head shots are on the wall. So yeah, we just throw darts at the ones we don’t want anymore.

D. B. Weiss

I spend a lot of time just, you know, with my girlfriend and my dog. And I mean, we don’t have a lot of furniture in our house, so it’s really simple. And we’re trying to build products for everyone in the world, right. And you don’t want to get isolated to do that.

Mark Zuckerberg

I think that everyone at any age should ask themselves, ‘where do I want to be today, where do I want to be tomorrow, and where do I want to be in a hundred years?’ We all have clear answers to those questions. We only have so much time. It’s a real shame if we don’t spend our lives trying to do that.

Jack Antonoff

Medical costs are soaring because our health-care system is totally screwed up. Doctors and hospitals have every incentive to spend on unnecessary tests, drugs, and procedures.

Robert Reich

Weekends are sacred for me. They’re the perfect time to relax and spend time with family and friends.

Marcus Samuelsson

Thanks be to God. Since my leaving the drinking of wine, I do find myself much better, and do mind my business better, and do spend less money, and less time lost in idle company.

Samuel Pepys

The way I work is, I always compose a shot list before I talk to anybody, including my DP. So I’ll spend a couple months basically creating the movie in my head, so I have a very solid film in my head, where I know every shot, and I know what the transitions between scenes are.

Ari Aster

Ron Paul

Most people don’t know what they spend in every single area, but they know they have a problem in particular areas.

David Wong

You spend a couple million dollars running for Congress, people get tired of seeing your face.

Louie Gohmert

When I was 12, we began hosting exchange students from Norway, Sweden, Japan and Spain. I soon realized there was a whole world out there. I was determined to spend my sophomore year in high school abroad. My school taught only Spanish, but I wanted to go to France, and I did.

Guy Fieri

Such a chimerical idea as telegraphing vocal sounds would indeed, to most minds, seem scarcely feasible enough to spend time in working over. I believe, however, that it is feasible and that I have got the cue to the solution of the problem.

You spend your whole lifetime in your occupation, actually making life clever, easy and convenient for white people.

Rosa Parks

I can spend the day without writing or reading, but I can’t spend a day without listening to music.

Eric-Emmanuel Schmitt

The only time I waste is time I spend doing something that, in my gut, I know I shouldn’t.

Simon Sinek

I’m just grateful I didn’t have to spend my early 20s in front of paparazzi cameras.

People spend so much time in their cars, and it’s a legal way to have fun by speeding a little bit or testing yourself a little bit, and you get to invest in your car. For some people, it becomes their baby.

Jordana Brewster

Monotony collapses time; novelty unfolds it. You can exercise daily and eat healthily and live a long life, while experiencing a short one. If you spend your life sitting in a cubicle and passing papers, one day is bound to blend unmemorably into the next – and disappear.

Joshua Foer

My dad was a big car guy. If you wanted to spend time with my dad, he was working on the car.

Johan Cruyff

My wife doesn’t even want to spend 2 hours with me.

Lou Holtz

Michael Dell

I don’t believe in an afterlife, so I don’t have to spend my whole life fearing hell, or fearing heaven even more. For whatever the tortures of hell, I think the boredom of heaven would be even worse.

Isaac Asimov

Brad Stone

In Brussels, you are able to have a lot of appointments in a day. In Paris, you can have one, two, maybe three, but you spend all your time on the road, in the car or in the suburbs. In Brussels, everything is easy. It’s not a very big city, and the people are very quiet and warm.

Eric-Emmanuel Schmitt

Just because you’re married doesn’t mean that you have to spend 24/7 together and can’t have separate interests and hobbies. In a healthy relationship, you both understand – and respect – that you need time apart doing what you want to do.

John Rampton

Jo-Wilfried Tsonga

I like to play table tennis, spend time with my kids.

Sissy Spacek

I spend my money on my props and my creations. I’m an inventor.

Adam Christopher

Danny Meyer

I think we spent 60-something million on ‘Hateful Eight,’ which is actually more than I wanted to spend, but we had weather problems. And I wanted to make it good.

Quentin Tarantino

I wanted to build a tool for my generation: people 20 to 40 who don’t want to spend time balancing a checkbook or checking multiple financial institutions’ websites. Mint does just that, giving comprehensive, quick insights into a user’s finances from their computer, mobile phone and/or tablet.

Aaron Patzer

When you’re doing something for the first time, you don’t know it’s going to work. You spend seven or eight years working on something, and then it’s copied. I have to be honest: the first thing I can think, all those weekends that I could have at home with my family but didn’t. I think it’s theft, and it’s lazy.

Jonathan Ive

Helen Keller

When it comes to women, there has been a tendency to define women in sports in the context of their relationships – they watch games because their husbands watch. They’re interested because their kids play a sport. They buy tickets to a sporting event because it’s a way to spend time with family.

Indra Nooyi

Men spend their whole lives showing that they’re strong and silent. They fight for independence the way women struggle to connect.

Nobody is promised tomorrow, so we should make sure that we spend quality time with quality people.
